The newly appointed chair of AWI, former deputy chair Collette Garnsey, said the company would soon announce the results of the WoolPoll vote of levy payers, whose payments support AWI's ongoing R and D and marketing roles.

The WoolPoll 2018 campaign had been marred with criticism from industry groups and stakeholders who claimed there was no need for two options above 2pc and the 1pc option should have been included for levy payers.
